Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The projects are being reviewed under the Centre’s UDAN regional connectivity scheme, which subsidises airlines serving tier-2 and tier-3 cities. The successful development hinges on the Centre receiving the requisite land from the West Bengal government for civil enclaves at the Air Force stations.
